In Which I recall vivid but long gone past days

Good morning, my friend, reader of this present post! How are you this last day of the business week? As for me, I am okay. Happy it is almost the weekend, and next week I have some doctor appointments booked, it promises being productive, then, or at least have some works done as for example with my ears and eyesight. How is the weather? My area has the weather trending towards rain, grey mornings, which are ones I appreciate, so no issue there, and just a temperance of the heat, summer 2026 is almost a bad memory at this point. I went on a shopping spree the past few days, which is not exactly the most responsible thing, but it is what it is. The most indulgent of the purchases was a pair of pajamas, that I was in spiritual need of. They are a number too big, but it was what was offered by the store when I went to the website, given most of the models were sold off.

Song of the week! In which we wish we could turn back in time

Hello everyone! Happy Friday to you!!! As you know, time for song of the week! Wow, can't believe we're already on August 17, the month of August is going fast, I think! Soon the summer will be back, but at this point it doesn't make a difference, it's hot just like it was summer already!
So, today we'll be seeing one of my favorites by Cher, that musical chamaleon! It's not only one of my favorites, but also at this point one cultural classic! Yes, if you saw the title of this post you probably already guessed what tune I'm talking about! If I Could Turn Back Time, of her Heart of Stone album of 1989!!



Cher is definitely an icon that spreads through so many musical genres! In this particular one, on her rock period, she gave us a powerful song on asking for forgiveness and how words we say can impact a relationship in bad ways. Guess we all had those moments, like she say in the song "words are like weapons, they wound sometimes", something we heard time and time again, and at some levels became a clichĂ©, but a very truthful one. Unfortunately we can't go back in time -yet- BUT that doesn't mean we can't wish for it and sing about it, am I right?? Also, her whole outfit for this song and this period of her career became iconic, she's indeed a fashion icon as well! If you don't have Spotify do not worry, I have the Youtube link right here with me!

This very nice song and this very nice artist is what we have for today!! I'm so happy to be here! Hope you enjoyed it as well!! See you next time!!
